Detailed explanation-1: -The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means ‘in the year of the Lord’, but is often presented using “our Lord” instead of “the Lord", taken from the full original phrase “anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi", which translates to ‘in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ’.
Detailed explanation-2: -A.D. comes from the Latin “anno Domini, ‘’ which means “in the year of the Lord.” A.D. applies to years following the birth of Jesus. Therefore, it’s easy to assume that A.D. 1500 means 1, 500 years after Jesus was born, but that’s not strictly true because A.D. began at 1.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anno Domini. Used to date years by reckoning the date of Christ’s birth, as opposed to B.C., the years “Before Christ.” Literally, Anno Domini means “In the year of the Lord.” Remember two important notes!
